Editorial Review for Houston's – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Burnished brass and stained wood complement roughly mortared brick and the occasional plant. Amid ubiquitous earth tones, corporate types and small parties (celebrating or simply living large) occupy deep booths done up in fine upholstery and lit from above by pin spotlights. Burgers, prime rib and steaks are the specialties of the house, but the menu also includes salmon, salads, pork chops and roasted chicken.

Two of my friends and I decided to go to Houston's for an all girls lunch. Our waitress was beyond rude and the food was ok at best. It took 10 min to get our water and tea. Her service was so horrible that another server began to answer our needs. We all ordered salads and she brought out the first 2 salads but the third came out 10 mins later. We had to remind her that she forgot the other salad. The icing on the cake was when she told the table next to us that she would be with them we she gives "those girls" their check. Highly unprofessional! I gladly left her a tip of $0.01!
Pros: I love the chicken salad
Cons: The prices raise every year, at least it seems that way

Not worth the wait, and certainly not worth the price. Spinach dip good, the rest of the menu mediocre at best. Relative to the price, the food is poor. More frustrating is the seating policy around the bar. Apparently the tables around the bar are available first come first serve for dining and separate from regular dining which I was not made aware of but eventually learned while my wife and daughter and I settled in for a forty minute wait for a regular table. After waiting about twenty minutes and watching others take tables around the bar for dining we noticed a party was getting ready to leave. Not wanting to hover like hawks over the table we waited a courteous distance when a rude man who had just walked in the restaurant walked up and stood right next to the table while the party was still seated. When I asked the man if he realized others who had been here longer were waitng, he rudely said " so what and this table was first come first serve". Unfortunately I exchanged some unpleasantries with this person, but at no time did anyone from the restaurant attempt to remedy this situation. I cannot believe with this unorganized, unfair system that this is the first time this has happened in this establishment. I guess I wouldn't expect more from a chain restaurant, and I will never step foot in this restaurant again.
